Fuel weight is not counted in that max payload weight number. Fuel, crew, etc is extra. I'm no sure what the max t.o. weight is. My B52 was 488,000 lbs.
Biden is a firm advocate of the four day week. He's finding it difficult though since he has grown accustomed to the 2 1/2 day week. Still, if they're paying you 400,000 big ones, you just gotta show your face from time to time. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Thanks Amazing how a single C-17 plane carried 800 People to safety from Kabul. Whopping big mass of people. Max payload ratings I read was 170,900 pounds. And 800 people at 200 lbs, each would be 160,000 lbs. But I'm unsure if fuel weight is counted, plus crew, their supplies etc. Hats off to the US Air Force. All 800 on that cargo plane floor, sitting, shoulder to shoulder.
